Oscar Presenters to Include Tiffany Haddish, Chadwick Boseman, Laura Dern

NBA All-Star Bowling ClassicTiffany Haddish may have gotten snubbed from an Oscar nomination, but the comedienne has become the face of this year's Academy Awards.

The "Girls Trip" actress teamed up with Andy Serkis to read the announcements a few weeks ago and now she's been added as a presenter to the March 4 Oscar broadcast.

ABC also revealed that current nominees Greta Gerwig (Best Director, Original Screenplay), Margot Robbie (Best Actress), and Kumail Nanjiani (Original Screenplay) will join Haddish on stage as presenters.

Also handing out awards will be "Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman, "Last Jedi" star Laura Dern, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" star Tom Holland, and, transgender actress Daniela Vega.

Last year's winners Mahershala Ali, Viola Davis, and Emma Stone will return to hand out awards, as is custom. However, Best Actor winner Casey Affleck has already bowed out in the wake of the #MeToo movement. His Oscar win was controversial due to allegations of sexual misconduct against him by former collaborators.

The 90th Academy Awards air March 4 on ABC.
